In this Jan. 5 daily horoscope, Bustle's resident astrologer Mecca Woods, founder of My Life Created, shares the astrological events happening today that will affect every zodiac sign. Below, here's a look at how astrology will affect our lives today.

The focus is on partnership and balance as the moon enters reciprocal Libra in the wee hours of the morning. A little later, the moon in Libra teams up with supportive Saturn and buoyant Jupiter in friendly Aquarius. With the help of this cosmic combo, it's a great day to engage or host any activity that involves teamwork and community building, as well as meetings and presentations. Many of us will be eager to share our ideas and connect with others.

Though with the moon in Libra also sitting in an opposition with wounded Chiron in Aries in the late morning, we'll need to remain as cool and objective as possible in dealing with others. This kind of an approach is particularly best if a disagreement or misunderstanding arises. That said though, this Moon-Chiron combo can be good for helping others in need or standing up for others that may be unable to stand up for themselves.

Read below to see what the stars mean for your zodiac sign today, and make sure to check out your January 2021 monthly horoscope.
